From the Word…
…" Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to
my God all my life long..” (Psalm 146:1)
At Synod our Bishop called us to a year of prayer and study:
“Therefore I stand before you today to call for a year of prayer and study so that we might better
understand and receive the healing God offers, and furthermore be better equipped to offer God’s
wholeness to others…”

Archives Boxes and Folders
Jane Teal, the Diocesan Archivist has contacted the supplier of boxes and folders for archival
materials and they are willing to handle a bulk order of boxes and folders for parishes. This would
mean that there would be economies of scale in cost and freight. Boxes would be standard
polypropylene ones that would take four flap folders and cost just over $13.93 for 10-50 and
$13.20 if over 50 were ordered in total. They are very sturdy and when material came into the
archives the parish would retain them for their future use.
Folders would be standard A4 four -flap folders with creases to take various amounts of material.
They are $2.30 each but purchase of a pack of 100 would bring the cost down to $1.98 each.
These folders are recyclable if they are in good order. GST is included, but freight would be
divided among those who ordered. If you are interested please contact
archivesdiochch@anglicanlife.org.nz by Friday 21st June at mid day. Jane will then contact you
with the price based on the numbers and a firm commitment would then be needed.
Acid Free Paper for Minutes
Some parishes may also wish to order acid free A4 photocopy paper for the signed copy of
Minutes. If you are interested, please contact the archivist as above.
Parish Registers
The Archives have some Baptismal and Burial Registers for sale. Baptism Registers are the
standard green ones that have been around for a long time, and cost $10.00 + postage. Burial
Registers are produced in acid free paper and come in two page numbers; a smaller one for those
who do not have many burials, and one with more pages for those who have larger numbers to
enter into a register. Costs are: $15.00 for a small one $20.00 for a large one + postage. There
are very few of these left, so first in, first served. Contact archivesdiochch@anglicanlife.org.nz
